Supreme Court to Review Oklahoma Death Row Inmate's Conviction

TL;DR Summary
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from Oklahoma death row inmate Richard Glossip, who has maintained his innocence in a 1997 murder-for-hire case. Despite support from the state's Republican attorney general, who believes Glossip did not receive a fair trial, an Oklahoma appeals court upheld his conviction. The case has attracted international attention and has seen multiple attempts to execute Glossip, with the latest effort being blocked by the Supreme Court. The high court will hear the case with only eight justices, as Justice Neil Gorsuch is not taking part.
